To the Woman Who Loved and Raised Me

To the woman who loved and raised me
To her who brought meaning of life at home
A queen who reigned supreme without a crown 
She cared and valued mine life as her own 
Willing to give up her life for mine sake 
For nine moons her life was at stake
She was the angel who sang and smiled for me
She told me the sweetest and most beautiful words
That I will ever hear
She raised me without fear
She taught me to speak and listen
She showed me how to bow and pray
Her arms were always open whenever I needed a hug
She understood when I needed a friend
Her strength and loves remains even today guiding me
Lastly she gave me wings to fly
Thanks mum
